Can't wait to see the followup

I'm eager too, haha

I use arch btw B) (anyways, I’m glad you’re checking out the open source community. We welcome you with open arms! Also, forewarning if you try to post for help on really anything, since you’re on arch many people will just say “read the wiki.” Despite this most of any issue you come across will already have a post waiting for you to discover.)

Thankyou for the welcome, haha, I will for sure :)

(I used arch for some weeks, btw) but accidentally broke it, then had to install win10 so I could use my pc as quickly as possible... Now, if it forcefully updates to 11 despite me denying it, I swear I'll take the time necessary to go back to it lol

The overheating was likely caused by dust buildup. Clean your cooler.

it came by default, lol. My PC doesnt have a good heating system, it heats when I open too much stuff at the same time.

@@stupidgeek change the thermal paste, check for dust because some has definitely built up, check thermal pads.

Keep up the good content !

Thankyou :)

[@osiralon]

I recommend you use ventoy instead of rufus or balena, it lets you have as many isos as you can shove into the usb drive without having to extract anything and pick from any of them and you can use grub themes to make it look pretty. In mine I have ubuntu, arch, a partition management software with a gui that shall remain anonymous, windows 11 and 10, and a couple other tools I can't recall at the moment.

[@stupidgeek]

@@osiralon that's cool, I will try that, thankyou for the suggestion :)

[@trajectoryunown]

@@stupidgeek Rufus is goated, literally the only thing I miss from Windows. Linux just flat out does not have a viable alternative with all of the options Rufus comes with. I _really_ wish we had a native port... Anyway, Ventoy is cool and Balena Etcher is super simple to work with and is available as an AppImage, but sometimes these GUI image writers cause problems. If you want things to be copied exactly, you'll need to use the 'dd' command to copy the disk images bit by bit. Not sure what all of these various image writers do differently, but they're not just copying an image to disk. I've had failed boots from using something like a half dozen different graphical applications all writing the exact same image, but the one written with 'dd' worked flawlessly. These programs are still useful, don't get me wrong, but if you have trouble booting or loading into a system then be sure to try 'dd' before blaming the image.

[@stupidgeek]

@@trajectoryunown whoav, that's great knowledge. Thankyou for sharing, I will try the 'dd' command for sure :)

[@trajectoryunown]

@@stupidgeek I look forward to seeing you continue your journey through Linux. Good luck!

Installing arch for first time when sharing with another OS is brave, i nuked the boot loader of other OSs too many times

[@stupidgeek]

haha, I played it safe somehow

[@mskiptr]

I think you now have two EFI partitions on your main drive. That's… not exactly supported by most motherboards. You might want to merge them or something. Tho if it works, it works.

[@stupidgeek]

it works

[@HowToLinux]

What??? Did you really just installed Arch as your first Linux successfully???? 🤯🤯🤯

[@stupidgeek]

manged to, somehow, haha

[@muffina672]

It's really not hard if you know how to read. Same goes for Gentoo

[@HowToLinux]

@@muffina672 This is true, but reading can be hard if you are not that technical. For example, when I began, I did not know what a partition is exactly. I had to go through every term. That's why I had to reinstall Arch like 3 times at the beginning because I was too lazy to read carefully. Cant count how many times I have forgotten to generate the grub config.

[@muffina672]

@@HowToLinux you don't really need to know what is a partition or so on. Arch wiki install is a step guide, you just follow the steps. It tells you that most of the time you'd like 3 partition setup, what size they should be and how to format them properly. Not to mention archwiki actually covers these topics most of the time, i.e you got a dedicated page for partitioning like what's a partition table, differences about gpt and mbr etc.

[@HowToLinux]

@@muffina672 It covers most of the topics that true. Back then around 2016, the setup guide wasn't as good, and it did not tell you exactly how to format the partitions.

[@CyberSan7054]

You made 14.5Gigs of swap partition? :O You don't really need more than 2 GB :)
